Itinerary

  • Acropolis

    The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historic significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον and πόλις

  • Parthenon

    The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patroness. Construction started in 447 BC when the Delian League was at the peak of its power.

    30 minutes

  • Tempio Di Athena Nike

    The Temple of Athena Nike is a temple on the Acropolis of Athens, dedicated to the goddesses Athena and Nike. Built around 420 BC, the temple is the earliest fully Ionic temple on the Acropolis.

    5 minutes

  • Tower of the Winds

    The Tower of the Winds or the Horologion of Andronikos Kyrrhestes is an octagonal Pentelic marble clocktower in the Roman Agora in Athens that functioned as a horologion or "timepiece". It is considered the world's first meteorological station. Unofficially, the monument is also called Aerides (Greek: Αέρηδες), which means Winds. The structure features a combination of sundials, a water clock, and a wind vane.[1] It was designed by Andronicus of Cyrrhus around 50 BC, but according to other sources, might have been constructed in the 2nd century BC before the rest of the forum. The Athens Ephorate of Antiquities performed restoration work, cleaning and conserving the structure, between 2014 and 2016.

    10 minutes

  • Monastiraki

    The heart of Athens city, this square reminds its vivid atmospere and its significant historic importance.

    10 minutes

  • Plaka

    In the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics. Sidewalk cafes and family-run tavernas stay open until late, and Cine Paris shows classic movies al fresco. Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek-island vibe

    30 minutes

  • Roman Agora

    The Roman Agora was built around 100 metres east of the original agora by Eucles of Marathon between 27 BC and 17 BC (or possibly in 10 BC), using funds donated by Augustus, in fulfilment of a promise originally made by Julius Caesar in 51 BC.[1] The Roman Agora has not today been fully excavated, but is known to have been a open space surrounded by a peristyle. To its south was a fountain. To its east, behind a marble colonnade, were shops and an Ionic propylaeum (entrance), the Gate of Athena Archegetis. To its west was a Doric gate, the East Propylon,[2] next to the Tower of the Winds and a set of "vespasianae" (public toilets). An inscription records the existence of an Agoranomion (an office for market officials). The Fethiye Mosque was built to the north during the Ottoman period.

Walking Tour of Acropolis monuments, Parthenon, Plaka and Monastiraki.

Published on Oct, 2024

Our walking tour of the Acropolis monuments, including the Parthenon, Plaka, and Monastiraki, was truly memorable. Our guide, Anna Kotorou, was fantastic! Her passion for history and archaeology shone through in every story she shared. Her insights brought the ancient sites to life, making the experience deeply engaging and enlightening. A highly recommended tour for anyone eager to learn about Athens' rich history.

Excellent Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Our guide, Lisa, was excellent. She had so much information and paced it all perfectly. Our tour was changed to include the Acropolis Museum instead of the Plaka which ended up being better than the original itinerary! Especially with Lisa as our guide
